The Podjacker Threat 354
Schlemphfer writes "As everyone knows by now, podcasting has taken off in a big way. But over the past week, several tech journals and The Daily Source Code have reported on the threat of 'podjacking,' the creation of an alternate RSS feed without the consent of the podcast's owner. I'm the host of a podcast, which has the dubious distinction of being the first widely-publicized victim of a podjacking. To teach others from my experiences I have posted an article entitled Preventing and Surviving a Podjacking (also available in PDF). So far this story has attracted widespread but generally
inept media and blogger
coverage. This article sets the record straight on what really happened, and shows the simple steps every podcaster should take to protect their shows from podjacking."

Yes, imagine the danger of people listening to the wrong inconsequential ramblings of somebody with no life.
The consequences are beyond words!

the bloggers. "Down with oppressive media! Democratize publishing!" say the
bloggers. And now that things are finally becoming standardized, and
XML-based, and easilly parsable and reusable, it turns out they don't LIKE
it when someone reuses *their* stuff in a way they didn't envision.
WHERE IS YOUR PRECIOUS "REMIX CULTURE" NOW?
Assholes.
